LETTER EDITOR’S

One of the great pleasures of editing this publication is being habitually exposed to design from across the country—an endless array of styles, influences, penchants and the like. In any given week, I review some three dozen homes from more than 15 cities.

It’s an abundance to see, and to weigh in on. The weekly parade of living rooms and gardens, kitchens and closets, laundry rooms and bedrooms gives me a wonderful perch from which to view American design. If you asked what I’ve observed lately, I would say it’s exuberance. I’ve spotted elation expressed subtlety with tone-on-tone interiors, and conversely, seen it pronounced with heaps of whimsy and sparkle in vibrant wallpapers, glossy walls and astonishing lighting. What these homes, and the people living in them, are conveying is their taste and joyfulness. Aren’t we all fortunate to delight in the mix?

Are there certain hues that are easier to live with? Colors can be clear, or they can be muted. Most interior shades are muted or grayed down to some degree. We’re much more likely to enjoy a burnt orange

BEHIND THE STUDIO SOFT-GEOMETRY

While stuck indoors during the pandemic, Ultharaa Zacharias and Palaash Chaudhary of Bay Area- and India-based design studio SoftGeometry began exploring resin, a new material for the duo. “We were trying to visually translate softness in light,” Zacharias says. Their experiments evolved into the wildly popular Elio lamp collection, which they recently expanded to include more sizes and hues. “We ask ourselves, ‘What are new ways in which we can explore the idea of softness?’” Zacharias says. “When we started, it was very much about the tactile. Then the Donut coffee table was born from exploring softness as sweetness—as taste.” The two grew up in India amidst a culture engrossed in craftsmanship. “It was normal for things in our homes to be made by people we knew,” Zacharias adds. “That’s a big influence. We think of things that are slowly made by hand as directly alluding to that idea of softness.” soft-geometry.com

or terra cotta as opposed to a super bright, undiluted orange. The former two are livable hues because they’re muddied up a bit and easier for our visual palates to digest.

What should people consider when choosing wall paint?

Light reflectance value (LRV) is the amount of light that a color reflects into a space and is included on most paint chips. The higher the LRV, the more light is bounced around a room, and the more luminous a color appears and feels. Since light plays a big role in the mood of a space, selecting paint hues that have a high LRV will generally make the area seem more energetic and playful.

A low LRV can aid in making a room feel moody and dramatic.

Any other tips? Proportion is key. A tiny bit of black can be grounding in a space, but four walls and a ceiling in the dark hue can have an entirely different effect.

Having studied color psychology, Marin-based interior designer Kelly Berg of Story & Space knows just how the hue of a room can affect the mood. Shades commonly found in nature—dusty aquas, sage greens, muted blues—bring serenity; warm hues like terra cotta and ivory create coziness; and bold tones such as deep plum and indigo can dial up the drama. Here, Berg shares her insights on the power of color. storyandspace.com

SUNNY STAYS

1 HOTEL SAN FRANCISCO

At Napa’s newest luxury resort Stanly Ranch, guests can enjoy their morning coffee on their own spacious terrace, overlooking lush, rolling vineyards. The resort’s warm, welcoming design by AvroKO is a reinvention of the modern farmhouse.

The 78 stand-alone cottages and suites feature natural finishes and features and are designed for indoor-outdoor living, with fire pits and outdoor showers. Enjoy seasonal, sustainably sourced cuisine at Bear, the resort’s freestanding restaurant, outfitted with local oak paneling, plaster walls and exposed structural beams. A custom chandelier inspired by deconstructed windmills is one of many elements that pay homage to the site’s agricultural heritage. aubergeresorts.com/stanlyranch

HYATT REGENCY SAN FRANCISCO DOWNTOWN SOMA After a $70 million transformation, the Park Central San Francisco is now the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Downtown SOMA. Inspired by the locale, BHDM Design created a new art-centric narrative for the property, with commissioned original pieces by select students and alumni from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco used throughout the public spaces as well as the executive and presidential suites. The airy guest rooms, which boast expansive city and bay views, feature refined decor in a palette of grays, creams and woods. hyatt.com

Those seeking the bright lights and vibrant energy of the city—and a serene oasis in which to retreat—are bound to love 1 Hotel San Francisco. Located on the Embarcadero, the hotel includes 186 guest rooms and 14 suites that capture views of the misty fog, sparkling water and rolling hills. Nodding to the region’s natural environment, the design melds an earthy color palette with rustic materials like wood and exposed brick. The floor of the inviting lobby, for example, is made of lumber salvaged from historic barns and industrial buildings, while elevator landings and corridors incorporate sustainably sourced redwood salvaged from the original Bay Bridge. 1hotels.com/san-francisco

OPEN HOUSE

From where do you draw inspiration? My main source of inspiration is Scandinavian ceramics, as well as a well-known woodturner in Berkeley named Bob Stocksdale. His forms were coming out of a midcentury aesthetic. And lately I’ve been online looking at the work of Gertrud and Otto Natzler.

You make your own glazes. What aesthetic do you gravitate toward?

I was looking for a matte glaze with a lot of movement and texture.

Some of the work that I love is bubbly and volcanic, but it’s very tricky to recreate someone else’s glaze. There’s so much alchemy involved.

I probably tested a hundred versions.

How does ceramics as an art form enhance our lives?

There are people who respond to my ceramics right away and love it.

I also get people who are drawn to it, but ask, “What’s it for?”

Well, it’s just to sit there and look pretty, which frustrates me as an answer because it feels like it diminishes the piece. But that’s a big deal. So many of us spend untold hours creating what we feel is a beautiful space in which to live. We are drawn to things that feed our soul. It’s there for your eye to rest on and bring you joy.

While working as a chef in San Francisco, Lisa Fleming was also a collector of ceramics. When she moved to a small town in South Carolina to join her then-new husband, she found that restaurant work was scarce. But she discovered an excellent ceramics program nearby and immersed herself in the art form. Now back in San Francisco, Fleming has gained a following for her porcelain clay ceramics, which feature clean, elegant lines. lisaflemingceramics.com

Let your imagination soar at the new RH San Francisco, The Gallery at the Historic Bethlehem Steel Building located at Illinois and 20th Streets. Restoring the 1917 landmark building to its former glory was a passion project for the brand’s CEO, Gary Friedman, a San Francisco native. Visual delights abound upon entry, from the octagonal lobby’s rose marble floors to the airy Palm Court Restaurant. Scaling the original stair rotunda to the second level will bring you to RH Interiors, while the third level houses RH Modern. On the rooftop, discover intimate RH Outdoor lounge spaces, then head down to the lower level to visit the largest RH Interior Design Firm & Atelier to date.

Boasting a new look and a new name, the San Francisco-based Dzine, helmed by brother-and-sister team Eve and Austin Forbord, has now joined Luminaire. This Miami-based company shares the mindset that “good design” creates an experience, and founders Nargis and Nasir Kassamali are known for their efforts to democratize design. As the partnership takes off, Dzine’s former showroom at 128 Utah Street has been refreshed as Luminaire San Francisco, and they have also opened a new showroom in Menlo Park. Explore furnishings by Piero Lissoni, candleholders by Zaha Hadid and bespoke lighting by Czech-based designer Lasvit at both locations.

AN EYE-CATCHING LINE OF WALLCOVERINGS AND TEXTILES CHAMPIONS THE SPIRIT AND TRADITIONS OF LOUISIANA. W R I T T E N B Y K E L LY V E LO C C I J O L L I F F E

For over six decades, artist Francis X. Pavy has been keenly observing his South Louisiana surroundings.

The region’s unique landscape and rich Cajun culture have been driving forces behind the narrative—and iconography—of his vibrant paintings. “I’m intrigued by the complexity of life here,” says Pavy, who’s been working out of his suburban Lafayette studio for 40 years. “It has depth and meaning; there is a story to be told.”

Now, Pavy is drawing on imagery from his vast body of artwork for a debut line of textiles and wallcoverings. Take

Marshgrass, a block print featuring small vertical lines rising from a horizontal base. He first noticed the symbol, which is used to designate marshland on a map, in a geologist’s office as a child. “I didn’t consciously say, ‘I need to remember this,’ but it became a part of an inner visual vocabulary that I filed away in my brain.” Then there is Briars, a creeping branch-like design inspired by thorny plants of the same name. As a teenager, Pavy watched as the sun illuminated a cluster growing in an empty field.

“Sometimes, imagery makes a burning impression in my memory,” he says.

“Or it comes back to me in a flash.”

The artist, who teamed up with his wife to bring the line to fruition, is also using this opportunity to develop new

motifs, one of which portrays coastal Louisiana’s delicate ecosystem. In Stormy Waters, Pavy depicts “flora and fauna overcome by storm water.” They adorn the fabric alongside iconography of a man with his dog and a small telephone pole symbolizing “the edge of civilization.” This narrative is inspired by the state’s historic flood, in 2016, and devastation the artist witnessed firsthand. “I’m interpreting what I see in Louisiana,” he explains. “We have our own identity in food, speech and music.

So why shouldn’t we have our own unique identity in art?” shop.pavy.com

LEADING MAKERS IN THE DESIGN WORLD DISCUSS THE IMPORTANCE OF ART AND CRAFT SCHOOLS, AND WHY NOW MAY BE THE TIME TO ENROLL. W R I T T E N BY M A I L E P I N G E L

Over the past several years, many people have spent time getting in touch with their creative side. As a result, an exploration, and revival, of craft—think pottery, woodworking and painting—has led to a renewed interest in arts educational programs. Several highly acclaimed schools across the country offer dynamic workshops and degrees, allowing students to spend years honing in on a specialized area of study or simply attend classes to become better

acquainted with a new interest. Who better to weigh in on the merits of a formal education than three celebrated alums: glass artist Dale Chihuly on Haystack Mountain School of Crafts; industrial designer Jay Sae Jung Oh on Cranbrook Academy of Art; and glass artist and painter Corey Pemberton on Penland School of Craft. Their success stories not only bolster the legacies of these unique institutions but serve as inspiration for the next generation of makers.

For Oh, Cranbrook’s broad-thinking approach lured her from Seoul to the Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, campus. “Their industrial design program lets you focus on your interests,” she explains. “The historical buildings, the environment—students from other majors like architecture, engineering, even anthropology—was fascinating to me.”

This influx of varying viewpoints intensified her creativity, and she quickly garnered the attention of design pioneer Gaetano Pesce, who offered her an internship and job opportunity after graduation. While now focused on her successful eponymous firm, Oh finds guest-lecturing at her alma mater a symbiotic relationship. “I like the engagement,” she says. “I get to see what students are interested in, and who they think the rock stars of design are today.”

While studying graphic design at Virginia Commonwealth University, Los Angelesbased Pemberton developed an interest in glassmaking that led him to a summer

program at Penland in North Carolina.

“My hand skills improved so much that the instructor offered me a job,” he recalls.

Pemberton went on to assistantships and residencies, returning to Penland for a coveted two-year fellowship where he augmented glassmaking with painting and other artforms. Today, Pemberton continues to remain busy, dividing his time between glassmaking and painting practices; an upcoming teaching stint at Haystack this summer; and serving as Director of Crafting the Future, a program creating more equitable opportunities for BIPOC students interested in the arts. “Craft schools are immersive and less formal than the collegiate route,” he says. “I’m a huge advocate [of them] and know how much you can learn.”

Regarded as one of the founding fathers of contemporary American craft, Chihuly studied glass making at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Upon graduating, he enrolled at the Rhode Island School of Design where he received an MFA and taught for many years. Throughout his tenure, Chihuly spent summers teaching at Haystack in Deer Isle, Maine, during which time he realized “artists teaching artists is vital to helping students find their own path.” Founded in 1950, the school was considered experimental because it had no permanent faculty, nor did it offer degrees.

Remaining true to its roots, Haystack’s workshops and residencies are still taught by visiting faculty and remain sought-after programs today. Chihuly credits Haystack with influencing him to cofound Pilchuck Glass School in Seattle, and, while no longer teaching, he continues to encourage “students to surround themselves with other artists. Watch how they live, not just how they work.”

UKRAINE’S GUNIA PROJECT SHINES A LIGHT ON THE COUNTRY’S LONG-STANDING CRAFT TRADITION. W R I T T E N BY M I C H E L L E B R U N N E R

In folk art, every brush stroke and every stitch tells a story, and when those crafts are lost to time, so too is a piece of history.

It’s a reality that Natasha Kamenska and Maria Gavryliuk, founders of the Gunia Project, know all too well. “Handmade items have always been at the heart of Ukrainian life, yet few people pass on the beauty of this national culture to their children,” says Gavryliuk.

In 2017, while volunteering at the Ivan Honchar Museum’s National Centre of Folk Culture in Kyiv, both women began to wonder why younger generations had forgotten folk crafts integral to their heritage. It sparked an idea: Form a collective of artists dedicated to producing Ukrainian crafts for a new audience using the traditional, timeworn skills of their ancestors.

LUXESOURCE.COM

Ceramic plates available through Ukraine’s Gunia Project depict religious and folk motifs from the country’s rich artistic history.

The duo embarked on a quest to find artisans, traveling throughout Ukrainian villages to seek out craftspeople by word of mouth. At a market in the town of Yavoriv, they encountered a gunya, a handmade sheep’s wool coat that serves as a talisman-like garment used during major life events. Finding inspiration in the object, they christened the company Gunia Project in 2019.

Handmade items sold through the collective include fiber arts, glass and jewelry, in addition to a large inventory of painted ceramics featuring playful takes on folk-art motifs and religious themes.

Many of the pieces sport images of saints and angels that loom large in Ukrainian faith and lore (their ceramic production

began with a single artist who happened to be trained as an icon painter). While the artistic sensibility of these pieces feels modern and fresh, the subject matter is timeless and deeply ingrained in the national identity.

For Gavryliuk and Kamenska, preserving Ukrainian culture for future generations has acquired even more significance as of late. “With the war at our doors, we know that our culture needs to be preserved and cherished,” says Gavryliuk. “Art is so closely intertwined with history that destroying folk crafts destroys our cultural heritage, and the country as a whole,” adds Kamenska. guniaproject.com, thenopo.com

Find & Seek TODD NICKEY, THE DESIGNER AND PROPRIETOR BEHIND LOS ANGELES’ NICKEY KEHOE, DISHES ON THE THRILL—AND IMPORTANCE—OF THE HUNT.

Todd Nickey and Amy Kehoe seek out beautiful pieces for design projects as well as their Los Angeles shop from flea markets, antique fairs and the like. Shown here is one such find: a vintage carved-wood entry door.

LUXESOURCE.COM

My partner Amy Kehoe and I have built our lives around being out in the world— at craft fairs, art shows, antique fairs and even flea markets—unearthing sources of inspiration. Although I enjoy searching for things online, it’s important for us to touch and feel objects. There’s only so much you can see about patina, texture and scale on a screen!

We met a young woman, just out of art school, at a craft show a few years ago, and she was making beautiful sculptures and serveware from wood. I don’t want to sound too ‘woo-woo,’ but when she invited us to pick up her work, I could feel the energy she put into making it. The way she sands her pieces gives them a unique surface, something that’s impossible to manufacture. It’s exhilarating to meet people who are passionate about creating and making.

Hunting and shopping in person is also where kismet happens. At times, I almost feel like a water witch with a divining rod because something just draws me to a piece—I find what I love by clearing my mind and exploring. I recently discovered a forged-iron company that makes the most extraordinary pieces and when I first saw them, I got jelly belly for a few minutes because it was such a thrill.

This is an era where appreciation for art and craft is growing, and we are embracing it on all levels, from crude to posh and fancy. The importance of handmade goods can’t be overstated—it’s fundamental; it’s everything. nickeykehoe.com

Common Threads KYLE BUNTING RETURNS TO HIS ROOTS WITH AN AMERICANA-INSPIRED COLLECTION. For hide rug designer Kyle Bunting, family has always been at the core of his work. Take, for example, the Austinbased creatives lauded range of rugs, wall coverings and home accessories, which incorporate methods passed down from his father Jim, who owned a hide art and furniture company. Bunting’s inventive take on these techniques ultimately led to his eponymous empire of beautiful yet functional décor objects for the home. Now, more than two decades since getting his start, Bunting’s work is once again being shaped by those near and dear.

This time around, Bunting looked to his mother, Peggy, and her longstanding passion for quilting as inspiration for his latest collection, Stateside. Playing off the striking patterns and graphic geometry of these traditional American textiles, the colorful new rug designs fuse the handiwork of both parents—all with Bunting’s signature spin. Each floor covering is created from pieced-together scraps, culled from repurposed hide cuttings and excess material collected during production.

What’s more, the collaboration also presents an opportunity to spotlight an unsung artform. Women like Peggy, and her family, have looked to quilting as a means of expression, love and practicality for centuries. “One of my most prized quilts was my grandmother’s,” she explains. “This handmade heirloom was crafted 65 years ago, and it’s evident that each stitch was painstakingly, and thoughtfully, made.”

It is the Buntings’ hope that these modern interpretations may also become treasured keepsakes and serve as timeless reminders of the historical fabric that connects families from one generation to the next. kylebunting.com

WORK WITH NATURE Among Lutron’s top tips is to design with the light, not against it. “Think of moonlight, sunrise, light-filtered green through trees, late-night embers in a dying fire— each moment is a canvas, and light is what soaks that canvas with color and feeling,” the team says. “Blend indoor and outdoor lighting with intention to match your mood and cultivate well-being.”

Top Dynamic lighting, automated shades and a sophisticated control system operate in concert to synchronize the color and intensity of interior lighting with the sun, dissolving the boundary between the natural and built environments.

WINNING STREAK

LUXESOURCE.COM

When interior designer Summer Thornton’s Dallas client asked for a marble primary bath, she took the request to heart, sheathing the space in not one, but three different types: Arabescato Corchia in large-format slabs; Grey Lilac on the sink vanities; and Calacatta Viola for the makeup vanity, casings and windowsills.

“It was quite the puzzle to install, but the nuance adds depth and interest,” says the Chicago-based designer. “The accent marbles are powerful, without being jarring. We were drawn to both the lilac shade as well as the Calacatta Viola’s plum tones.” All three stones also make an appearance on the floor, where they are carefully laid out in a “Mondrian-esque

pattern” in conjunction with strategically placed textured metallic tiles. The latter, along with a polished-nickel soaking tub and an antique wall mirror, bring additional light into the space.

“There’s only one window, so these reflective surfaces bounce light around the room, making it feel twice as large,” notes Thornton.

The metallic fittings and accents were also chosen to help add warmth, which is important in all-stone baths that can sometimes come across as cold. To further encourage an inviting atmosphere, Thornton selected cerused-oak wooden cabinetry and a tactile wicker vanity chair to complete the stunning scheme. summerthorntondesign.com

For the primary bath of a landmarked Tudor residence in Dallas, designer Summer Thornton employed three different types of marble to achieve its dynamic appearance. Hammered German Silver tiles from Paris Ceramics offset marble flooring. The space is outfitted with a polished-nickel tub from Catchpole & Rye, fittings from Waterworks, Murano-glass vanity scones from Jean-Marc Fray and a Vaughan ceiling fixture.

MOODY MOMENT STUDIO LIFE/STYLE

Shannon Wollack and Brittany Zwickl, the duo behind West Hollywood firm Studio Life/Style, approached this Los Angeles powder room with a sophisticated-yet-daring eye. “We knew early on that we wanted to use a stone with lots of movement and color for the custom vanity,” says Zwickl. The designers landed on Calacatta Viola marble, which features burgundy veining that pairs perfectly with a deep green plaster finish on the walls. Below, Zwickl dives into more detail. studio-lifestyle.com What was the inspiration behind the design?

A powder room presents the perfect place to have a little fun! We were trying to create something moody with a touch of drama, and a dark color paired with striking stone always works well in small spaces.

Tell us about the wall treatment?

A contrasting wall color can help bring out the stone’s natural tones. Here, we chose Portola Paints & Glazes’ Roman Clay in the Lone Park shade, which adds extra depth to the room and plays with the reflection of light. Lindsey Adelman scones and a Gio Ponti−style mirror complete the look.

Is the rest of the home this bold? This is one of the darkest rooms in the house, so it’s a bit of a departure. We like when the powder room serves as a little surprise for guests as they experience the home.

STRIKING STONEWORK DESERVES A SMART GROUP OF SUPPORTING CHARACTERS, AND THESE NEW BATH PRODUCTS FIT THE BILL.

TURNING HEADS

Every jewel box needs some shimmer, and Kohler’s recently debuted Statement shower collection offers just the right amount of bling. The line contains four hand showers, two body sprays, four rain heads and an oval showerhead (shown in Vibrant Brushed Moderne Brass).

The oval head—which is available in both 10-inch and 12-inch lengths—is designed to deliver a robust stream of water that simulates a soaking summer storm.

Additional finishes include Polished Chrome, Vibrant Brushed Nickel and Matte Black. kohler.com

SUPER SOAKER

Drummonds tapped industrial designer Marc Newson to envision a collection of bath products that marries the company’s classic aesthetic with his penchant for sinuous shapes and sleek lines. Items range from shower controls to taps and mixers, but the star of the show is the Coln bathtub, which features elegant contours made from composite marble with customizable metal feet. drummonds-uk.com

CLEAN & CLEAR

Subtle details such as an arched ribbon spout and transparent lever handles give Brizo’s new Allaria Widespread Lavatory a cool, modern twist.

Shown in Brilliance Luxe Gold/Clear, the streamlined faucet is available in seven additional finishes, along with the option of a square spout with knob or twist-lever handles. To complement this faucet, the collection includes tub fillers, shower components and coordinating hardware that is sure to deliver a sense of polish and effortless style to any bath. brizo.com

GOING GREEN LUXESOURCE.COM

Statement slabs are one of the most effective ways to transform a space. Therefore, when the owners of this Boise, Idaho, residence called upon designer Jordan Yankovich of KovichCo Interiors to revamp their primary bath, she doubled down on green-hued Scala marble. “This stone has so much personality, with large green pools that the clients loved,” says Yankovich. “Real stone always feels new and fresh because you’re constantly discovering different patterns in the veining.”

Maximizing natural light was important to the scheme, so the designer added a see-through gas fireplace which allows daylight to flow between the bath and bedroom. Copper, nickel, steel, bluestone and oak complement the marble and round out the room’s palette.

“The client is a mining engineer, so these finishes are a nod to his profession,” notes Yankovich. “The materials are fancy, but they are used in a way that feels timeless and approachable.” kovichco.com

In this Southampton residence by Elizabeth Lawrence of Bunny Williams Interior Design, a secluded sitting room cloaked in a pale lilac toile serves as flexible sleeping quarters thanks to a twin bed-sized sofa.

Limestone pavers flow through the entry (left), bathroom (below) and living-dining space (opposite), creating a timeless thread that welcomes sandy feet and muck boots alike.

EASY ELEGANCE

For designer Elizabeth Lawrence, a ground-up guest residence in Southampton provided a unique opportunity to bridge the old with the new. Building upon Georgian-influenced architecture by Michael Dwyer (largely inspired

by Frances Elkins’ interiors), and led by her client’s appreciation for antiques, Lawrence began layering palette and pattern to imbue a sense of calm, collected sophistication to

the dwelling, which serves as a year-round getaway. The result reads “a bit like an English country home, but with a Southampton twist,” notes Lawrence. She kept the ethos of-a-place with choice details like subtly coastal paint colors custom-crafted by Donald Kaufman throughout, and a bespoke entry mural by Artgroove depicting the seaside town.

“The mix of casual living in a formal setting is what makes this project so interesting,” muses the designer, pointing to the breezy spirit of the open-concept living-dining room—a pleasing contrast to the grand

architectural detailing. A similar dichotomy can be found in the surprising throughlines that lace together collections of wooden antiques, sumptuous, high-pile carpets and historically reverent textiles. Modern artworks and contemporary lighting are hallmarks of the design, and Lawrence’s artful placements— like an enormous Noguchi lantern above the dining table—typify the “Southampton twist” she endeavored to achieve at the outset.

“At night, when that’s the only thing lit,” she notes, “it almost looks like the moon is hanging there.” bunnywilliams.com

WORLDS AWAY

LUXESOURCE.COM

When a couple’s search for a larger primary residence came up short, they abandoned the idea and turned to landscape architect John Howard to reconceive their existing Buckhead, Georgia, backyard instead.

Crowning the greenspace, a potting shed designed by architect William B. Litchfield (an homage to Bunny Mellon’s folly at Oak Spring Farm), underscores the bucolic manner of the newly appointed oasis. Trellising strung with Madison jasmine and climbing roses “serves

as a transitional, unifying moment between the terraced lawn and surrounding woodlands,” notes Howard. In collaboration with Litchfield and interior designer Liza Bryan, he specified bluestone pavers, barnwood paneling and a soapstone sink for flower arranging. Happily, the clients purport to using the shed as a bar and serving area when entertaining, too, treating friends and family to all the charms of a pastoral soiree—from the convenience of Atlanta proper. howarddesignstudio.com

URBAN RESPITE

“We wanted to create a country house in the city,” shares Sara Gilbane of her clients’ Manhattan residence. Taking cues from a prolific collection of antiques and artworks, the designer set about capturing the spirit of the family’s ancestral Pennsylvania farmhouse in their newly purchased downtown apartment, which she transformed from austere white box to characterful flat alongside architect Gerard Beekman. Take the guest room, where, enveloped by a painterly Lewis & Wood wallpaper, Gilbane employed streamlined canopies to “cozy up” antique metal beds dressed in early American quilts.

Or the entry hall, where the selection of tumbled stone flooring in a timeless black-and-white check lays the foundation for oil painting gallery walls and millwork painted a chalky hue that feels snatched from a country residence benefitting from centuries of patina. “We live in a world where so much is accessible and, in turn, so much is the same,” muses Gilbane. “That is in part why this ‘old with a twist’ aesthetic is resonating today— it’s just refreshing.” saragilbaneinteriors.com

David Scott

Joy Moyler

Young Huh

David Scott established his namesake firm, David Scott Interiors, with a belief that interiors should reflect the style and personality of their owner—not simply the designer. The natural connection a client has with their home drives each design, resulting in a portfolio of highly personal environments. With almost 30 years of experience, Scott has created diverse and artful designs in an array of styles for numerous clients. Visually stimulating yet supremely functional, Scott’s interiors gracefully meld the timeless elegance of the past with today’s modern aesthetic.

For interior designer Joy Moyler, fashion is a driving force behind her diverse body of work. Textiles, color and pattern seep into her projects, which are punctuated by bespoke details often found in haute couture. She developed a penchant for architecture after visiting Spain as a teenager. Enthralled by the light, color and textures of Madrid and Barcelona, she decided to pursue a Bachelor of Science in architecture. Moyler’s experience spans the globe and encompasses residential, retail, hospitality and commercial projects infused with local culture. Moyler’s portfolio also includes A-list celebrity residences, including Harry Winston’s Beverly Hills home.

A Detroit native, Young Huh received a law degree from Fordham University. While pursuing further education and an internship in interior design, Huh discovered her true calling and founded her New York City-based design firm in 2007. Resetting the design narrative for each project, Huh’s work is about finding harmony and dynamism through the application of classic and modern design principles.

Thoughtful architectural details provide the groundwork for warm and welcoming interiors, each animated by sophisticated surface treatments, a singular play of pattern and color, as well as a touch of wanderlust.

Working with the timeless qualities of light, texture, rhythm, proportion and expressive detail, Alper crafts each project to suit both property and owner. A constant for the firm is helping clients envision and build a home that will house family memories. Stewardship of resources, both budgetary and environmental, paired with exceptional service, are the hallmarks of Alper’s practice.

That makes her a perfect fit for the residents of Wine Country, who are increasingly conscious in all ways.

LOCAL LOVES Alper talks …

Describing the high-end Wine Country home, architect Amy Alper says this: “The views set the stage and in response I look to highlight the drama of approach and procession that leads to them.”

The process certainly works for her, if the portfolio of award-winning (including a Luxe RED Award in 2020 and 2022) and widely published work is any indication. Alper elaborates further on her perspective: “As design begins, careful site planning and sustainable strategies are key, including a renewed focus on gathering pavilions for year-round entertaining outdoors. Of course, energy usage and fire resistance are always in mind.” Signature to her work, the architecture, interiors and landscape are deftly integrated, exemplifying a tenet of luxury living in the region—Wine Country residents embracing their stunning outdoor environments.

ost homes have a hard time keeping secrets.

Glance inside this Pacific Heights abode, for example, and the owners’ passion for entertaining and family gathering is revealed. From the sunfilled living room and cozy den to the thoughtfully appointed private spaces, each detail conveys a heartfelt desire to welcome and delight.

In 1905, when architects Albert Sutton and Charles Peter Weeks designed the Colonial Revival home, formal parties were likely prim and proper. But when the current owners described the events they hoped to host to designer Marea Clark, they painted a picture of casual elegance.

“We were excited to create a sophisticated space,” the wife explains. “But we’re a young family with four kids, so it also needed to feel comfortable for guests with children.” Their vision was a floor plan flowing easily from formal to informal spaces— dining room to kitchen to living room to den.

So, in addition to updating wallcoverings, paint colors and light fixtures, Clark worked with architect Stephen Sutro and his colleague residential designer Sarah Turner to create a pocket door that enlarges the opening between dining room and kitchen. The new version was inserted with surgical precision, Sutro says, to preserve the home’s original millwork. “General contractor Clayton Timbrell and his team were able to splice into the baseboard and preserve the crown molding, making it look like nothing ever happened,” the architect notes. The alteration may be difficult to detect, but the impact in the dining room is dramatic. “Now you can look straight through the kitchen’s window wall and out to our green backyard,” the wife says. “You feel the outdoors, which is not so common in San Francisco.”

To amplify the effect, Clark commissioned artisans at de Gournay to create a wallcovering with a pattern of pastel hand-painted butterflies for the dining room ceiling. “Butterflies and de Gournay are timeless and elegant, but having

them on the ceiling make it feel playful and unexpected,” she explains. For the walls, she chose lacquer with a pale blue hue and a reflective quality like that of the chandelier’s iridescentglass shades, making the space what she describes as “a study of light.”

The pretty palette informs the spectrum of colors, from pale to saturated, that Clark used in finishes and furnishings throughout the house. In the living room, where a curvy sofa upholstered in a dustyrose velvet presides, “we started crossing over to some darker accents, like the walnut coffee table,” the designer says. The palette deepens further in the den, which feels “quite moody with its darkhued millwork and taupe fabric on the walls,” Clark notes. For that intimate space, meant for cocktail parties and family movie nights, Clark designed a sectional that nearly wraps the entire room. “The homeowners like to curl up there and get cozy, so we wanted it to be deep,” she says. Near one end of the sofa, the designer tucked a bar into a built-in bookcase. At another end, she hung a striking silhouette of a female form from the homeowners’ collection of contemporary artworks.

With help from Clark, the clients explored the theme of water in new art acquisitions.

A luminous, monochrome painting by Udo Nöger evokes a serene seascape in the dining room, and a Richard Misrach photograph of a lone surfer on a turquoise sea presides over the second-floor stair landing, providing a preview of the layered blue and green colors of the primary bedroom’s carpet, silk wallcovering and upholstered bed.

Before personalizing bedrooms for the children, Clark consulted her young clients and then presented them with design boards for their approval. They settled on Pucci pillows and a mod chair for one daughter; a pastel floral headboard and drapery for another; classic reds and blues for the only son; and a blue lacquered vintage dresser and framed chinoiserie panel for the baby. In these rooms and throughout the house, Clark conjured a mood both ethereal and playful. “The spaces are not childlike, but they are places where children live,” she says. No secrets here.

“The den feels quite moody with its dark-hued millwork and taupe fabric on the walls.”

Opposite: When designing the nursery, Clark took inspiration from the family’s framed Gracie wallpaper panel; its soft blue and gray accents informed the Wales Gray wall paint by Benjamin Moore and the newly lacquered vintage dresser.

Above: In the primary bedroom, an armoire serves as command central for the household. “It was important for the wife to have a dedicated work space, so we designed this piece,” Clark says.

The custom chair’s Schumacher upholstery complements the room’s serene blue hues.

Opposite: The white oak millwork and wallcovering in the primary bathroom were existing finishes that the homeowners and Clark decided to keep. Within the room is an “intimate nook where the wife can get ready,” says Clark, who found the stool on 1stdibs.

After falling for the allure of the Golden State, a Midwestern couple creates a wine country retreat.

S

ometimes, the kids know best. Such was the case for a Wisconsin family who decided to establish a Napa Valley vacation home in St. Helena after their daughters led them west. “We have two young adult children who attended universities in the Bay Area and decided to stay after graduation,” the wife says. “We’ve always enjoyed the wine country vibe with its great climate, restaurants, vineyards and easy access to San Francisco. We knew it would be an appealing destination for family and friends.”

During the pandemic, creating an abode halfway across the country was no easy task.

But when the couple connected with residential designer Fabien Lannoye, general contractor John Schrader and interior designer Shelley Cahan, things started to fall into place. All three have ties to Napa Valley, a bonus for the out-oftown owners, but also key was a near-instant rapport. Cahan only met with the couple in person twice during construction, but “we just clicked,” she says. “They trusted us to deliver their dream home.”

“We wanted it to feel casual, bright and modern,” the wife says. “Our house on Lake Michigan is a traditional English Tudor, and we were ready for a change in architecture and design.” Lannoye set a contemporary note with an open floor plan large enough for a kitchen, living room and dining area set under a soaring ceiling with exposed trusses. Cahan emphasized the airiness of the space with a 20-foot, floor-toceiling plaster fireplace surround, which acts as a stunning centerpiece.

To bring additional natural light into the front of the residence, Cahan commissioned a custom pivot door for the front entry and added two skylights to the kitchen. “The glass in the door allows the morning eastern light to pour in,” Cahan says of the impressive portal built by artisan Joe Bates.

“It’s a game changer.”

The dwelling is designed around the landscape that drew the couple to wine country. “The house is U-shaped, so when you are inside looking out, it frames views of the vineyards,” says Schrader,

who collaborated on the design with Lannoye.

“The exterior is largely glass, stone, cedar and Cor-Ten steel,” the general contractor adds. While their low-maintenance qualities are a plus, these natural materials also play an important role in establishing curb appeal; the structure looks right at home set amongst the rolling hills and distant mountains. The elements are also fire resistant and energy efficient, an important consideration in this region.

Taking advantage of the setting and views, a large sliding glass door connects the pool area and great room. Drought-resistant plantings chosen by landscape designer Katherine Novick provide a natural backdrop. “The family wants to be outside when they come here,” Cahan notes. “This house has a full outdoor kitchen with an island, custom lap pool, two fire pits and outdoor furnishings that let the party move with ease from inside to out.”

To make sure the abode would fit the family’s lifestyle, Cahan interviewed the couple and their three children about their needs for the common spaces and private bedrooms. The youngest child, a son still in high school, got a bedroom with a desk for homework, while the older daughters emphasized that they would feel most comfortable in a residence with eco-conscious furnishings and materials. “I’m learning from them and trying to be more mindful of sustainability,” the wife says.

“When and where we could, we made that choice.”

Cahan points to the vegan leather chairs in the media room as an example of how they honored the daughters’ requests. The designer also relied heavily on locally made pieces partially for sustainability, but also because with pandemicrelated shipping delays, they wanted to be sure that the house could be furnished as soon as construction finished.

Now that the dwelling is complete, the wife hopes the family can use it more often once their teenaged son graduates from high school.

“Although there’s no pressure on him to go to college in Northern California, it would be nice if he followed his sisters’ lead and headed west,” she says jokingly. On a more serious note, she adds that the home has evolved as a touchstone that brings the tribe together. “This is a relaxing place for all of us,” the wife says. “We love this house.”

To accentuate the great room’s soaring ceiling and exposed trusses, designer Shelley Cahan surrounded the fireplace with floor-to-ceiling Venetian plaster. A dramatic painting by Chase Langford brings color and movement to the space.

Art Therapy A Northern California artist finds beauty and solace in painting the natural world.

WRITTEN BY DEBORAH BISHOP PHOTOGRAPHY BY ALANNA HALE

I

n many ways, Laine Justice is her own ideal audience. “I’m not drawn to art you can take in at a glance,” she confides, surrounded by works in progress at her studio in Cloverdale.

“I’m excited by paintings you can look at for a very long time and still not see everything.”

Justice’s oils and watercolors thrum with life. As one looks, things begin to emerge from the collage-like layers of densely applied pigment—which may also be adorned with gold leaf, scraps of fabric and glass beads. Suddenly, a beak becomes visible, then a bear’s ear, a fox’s face and maybe the outline of a deer.

“It’s a bit like Where’s Waldo?” the artist says, smiling at the comparison.

Nature is a source of inspiration and respite for Justice, whose path to becoming an artist was filled with twists and turns worthy of a Grimm’s fairy tale. Born in Birmingham, Alabama, and raised in Portland, Oregon, Justice was sent to a restrictive CEDU boarding school in Idaho where she was not allowed to spend much time sketching.

When she emerged three years later, Justice pursued art with a vengeance. She studied life drawing at the Pacific Northwest College of Art before earning a BFA from the Pratt Institute, where she focused on sculpture and painting and nurtured her love of raw pigments at a program in Lucca, Italy.

A material polymath, Justice works on several projects concurrently: oils on canvas, watercolors, papier-mâché sculptures, mulberry paper scrolls and a hand-bound, oversized children’s book that has been years in the making. The tome illustrates the fanciful plot of Little Big Ears and is illustrated with watercolor, ink, dye, gouache, acrylic, graphite and gold leaf.

Like a mash-up of Henry Darger and Richard Scarry (his playful, scene-stuffed illustrations were among Justice’s childhood favorites), the densely drawn pages also reflect her affinity for intricate Persian miniatures. “As with everything I do, the hardest part is knowing when to stop,” says Justice, whose work is represented at Gallery Lulo in Healdsburg and Fouladi Projects in San Francisco.

When she finds herself stuck, Justice returns to her first love, life drawing, which acts like a palate cleanser on her psyche. “Observing nature teaches me to just look, see and draw, without any attachment,” she says. “This got me through some tough times as a girl, and now that I’m older, it brings me pure joy.”

Artist Laine Justice poses in front of two works: The large painting is titled Running Still and the smaller one is Kitten Clouds (previous page, left). In her studio (opposite), tools include chalk and pastels (left) and oil paints (below). She works surrounded by watercolors and drawings—small studies that may become larger pieces (bottom).

GREENER PASTURES In search of a home with timeless appeal, a couple opts to build a traditional abode in Atherton.

T

he owners of this Atherton residence did not start their life together in the quiet, leafy neighborhood. Initially, they were living in San Francisco—but as their family grew, so did the appeal of a smaller town. Not only did a new zip code provide a fresh start for the couple, but it also allowed them the opportunity to build a home from the ground up and explore their interest in classical architecture, all while creating a comfortable backdrop for family life. “They appreciate traditional lines and pieces with history,” says Lauren Nelson, the designer they hired to bring their vision to reality.

“Our clients tend to lean more modern in their taste, so I loved exploring a classic aesthetic, while still having playful moments.”

“They wanted everything a young family would desire,” echoes architect David Buergler.

“They were looking for a style that’s functional but beautiful, and nothing too stuffy.” Working in a Georgian vernacular, Buergler created a historically inspired envelope for modern life.

“This isn’t your mom’s classic house,” he jokes.

“It’s upbeat, joyful and light.”

This “tradition with a twist” nature of the home is evident at the front door. From the formal entryway guests can immediately see through the abode to a 32-foot glass wall opening to the backyard. It’s a type of dwelling that Buergler is known for creating throughout the Bay Area.

Here, it was adapted for modern living quarters in a classical language, all built in collaboration with general contractor Jim Hart. “If you go to historic places like Williamsburg, it’s not the houses that put you in awe, but how the pieces relate,” Buergler continues. “Here, all the parts flow together so that the interiors interact with the outdoors, which makes it a fun place to live.”

“We wanted to honor the home’s style with a soft and neutral palette,” says Nelson of the white, gray and blue hues chosen to reflect the husband’s Norwegian ancestry. She also opted for a Scandinavian approach to furnishings, selecting simplified pieces and an uncluttered look;

eschewing a rug in the entryway, for example, to let the natural beauty of the walnut floors lead the eye into the living and dining spaces.

“They wanted a formal living room,” Nelson recalls, noting the clients’ fearlessness when selecting white upholstery. The space is an elevated mix of vintage and new—the 1940s-era armchairs are by Danish designer Viggo Boesen while the painting above the mantel is a commissioned piece by artist William McLure—as well as a study in contrast, with the piano and black klismos chairs bringing weight to the bay window’s sitting area.

As in the entryway, the living room’s woodwork was painted two different shades: gray and white.

“This allows the beautiful millwork to have a stronger presence, drawing your eye to the classic architectural detailing amidst the more modern furnishings,” Nelson explains. She again played with contrast in the kitchen, anchoring the lofty, all-white area with an island painted navy blue.

“To play up certain rooms and evoke different emotions, we decided some spaces could be a bit more adventurous,” Nelson continues. In the dining room, she gave the walls a wash of deep blue, dressed the windows with even darker velvet draperies in the same hue and added the surprise of a gray-green ceiling. Layered in color, “it feels tied to the other rooms because of balance and thoughtful accents,” she adds, pointing to the owners’ white-painted Gustavian chests that serve as a sideboard. “I’m mindful of not throwing good pieces away—use what you own,” she encourages.

Blues carry into the couple’s offices: his is a gray-blue, hers is an inkier hue. “Her work space pushes the envelope a little,” says the designer, who added dark linen shades for an edgy look.

She also floated the desk from the wall for a lighter feel and to give the wife a better view of the garden and pool.

The upper floor is home to the family and guest bedrooms, the whole of which feels “soft and calming—like a warm embrace,” says Nelson.

“These clients are ‘less is more’ people, so we exercised restraint throughout the house.” The result is a dwelling as serene as its neighborhood— a welcome respite for weary urbanites.
